How to set proxy

Proxy server

1. proxy server: 127.0.0.1 (If deployed on a remote server or virtual machine, change to the ip of the corresponding server or virtual machine.)
2. port: 8899 by default. If the port is occupied, the new port can be specified at startup using -p. More information can be viewed by executing the command line w2 help (v0.7.0 and above can also use w2 help).
